Drag and Drop tool functionality lost

Hello, prior to the most recent update, you were able to drag and drop tools from your tool libraries into you current work setup and it would automatically copy / paste the tool. This functionality no longer exists... I have a drill and tap libraries with no tool numbers that I would just drag and drop into my current part and renumber them later that I can't make use of now...

I hope this is a bug and will be corrected soon in the future. 

 

Thanks

I forget the exact details surrounding this change, but I do believe it was intentional for the time being.

However, you can still SHIFT+Click on them, CTRL+C/V (copy, paste) them into your document.

I couldn't get the Shift click to work at all. Copy paste works if I paste it into the document. It doesn't allow me to copy paste it into my setups though. I can't think of a good reason for the change... Lost functionality is never a good thing in my opinion. Is there anyway to push for it to be reverted? 

 

Thank you.

In this video, I'm selecting with both the mouse and the keyboard. My screen recorder does not capture keyboard clicks, so you'll just see the mouse motion and pings

 

In the first section, I'm using Shift/Click to select a bunch and then right clicking for "Copy" and "Paste". For the Spot Drills, I'm using only the keyboard for the same tasks

I'm checking with the developers as to why exactly we're disallowing drag-and-drop. I'm sure there was a perfectly good reason
